Is it OK for your ultrasonic cleaner?

Cutlery

Yes
Check first
No

Small steel cutlery is fine – tarnish on silver does not go away.

Updated from your answers.

A few questions to be sure

Is the piece solid, or plated/gilded?

How to do it

Time
3 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

One drop of dish soap. Dry straight away.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

Stainless steel handles ultrasonic cleaning. Silver cutlery comes out free of dirt but not of tarnish, and silver-plated nickel silver has a plating.

Watch out for

  • Bone handles, wood or glued knife handles: avoid
  • Silver-plated: check the plating
